I honestly have no idea

8.42.3 is the first driver that has worked at all on my FireGL chipset, and I've had to hack it to believe it's a X1700 to get this far! So I cannot possibly say whether your situation would improve, but mine is infinitely better .

fixed the missing textures problem I was having and for the first time I can run WoW in opengl mode... however when I started the game I was running 60 - 90 FPS... but after 5 or 10 mins it dropped to 4 fps... anyone know how this can be improved? (Yes I've followed the guide for Ubuntu, with the registry settings and all that to improve performance).

Does the things described here correct the problem? Or should I stay with 8.37? (or should I move to 8.40?)

I had great faith in this latest release from ATI but since I only need my graphic card for WoW, no use to change if I can't play.

All I can say is that WoW runs (that is, after disabling vertex shaders). However, the FPS is noticably worse than 8.40, which wasn't great to begin with, and the minimap doesn't display inside major cities. Stick with 8.40 until they get things sorted out.

Edit: Oops, forgot to say that I use wine. Card is Radeon Mobility X300.
